Day 1: We landed in Toyko around supper time. We had reservations at the Alice in Wonderland restaraunt. Since it was a long flight we checked in at our hotel Shinagawa Prince Hotel. We actually saw some Mario Kart drivers which we wish we could've had to opportunity to do.
Day 2:
We took a Full Day Tour that went to #meiji Shrine, the #imperial Palace, and the #senso-ji Temple. And then we took a cruise of the bay area and shopping at Nakamise-dori. This came with a bus and a tour guide and was super easy to see everything really quickly.
At the end of the day we ate at the #chocolatecafe This had some amazing treats. We also went to the #hachikostatue and #shibuyacrossing
Day 3: We took a cab and went to Disney Sea. We spent most of the day there. It might be helpful to actually stay there versus staying outside and going in. We got stuck in a lot of line ups due to graduation week.
@monique241 - We live in Canada so for us it cost about 8.5K - 9K for both of us. This included; the hotels, the Japan Rail pass, the varying tours and Disney pass tickets. We had booked through a travel agent just to ensure that the hotels and tours were through reputable companies and good locations. Most of our hotels were a block or two from a train station so there is definitely room to find more affordable hotels not as close to train stations. Hope that helps!
Do you mind if I ask if your trip cost a lot of money? Would love to travel Japan.
@rubyflynn92 - I think we had a good amount of time for our first time round. I think we could've used an extra few days to really get to check out Kyoto and Itsukushima as we got to see the basics but definitely could do a bunch more! One thing we didn't realize is that we hit Disney Sea over the Graduation Week so a bunch of kids were going there to celebrate. It was crazy busy comparative to the other parks. However, Disney Sea has some rides and attractions that can only be found there (including food) so it was worth going to experience that. Just make sure that you get fast passes as much as possible to enjoy your experience!
What did you think of Disney Sea? Tokyo Disneyland is on my bucket list! Do you think the time you spent in Japan was enough or would you recommend more? I work as cabin crew so the only time I've spent in Japan is a short two-day layover in Tokyo, would love to dedicate time to explore the city and country properly.
